Exposure Guidelines Exposure Limit Values
Nicosulfuron
AEL * (DUPONT) 5 mg/m3 8 & 12 hr. TWA Respirable dust.
Titanium dioxide Permissible exposure limit:
(OSHA) 15 mg/m3 8 hr. TWA Total dust.
TLV (ACGIH) 10 mg/m3 TWA
AEL * (DUPONT) 10 mg/m3 8 & 12 hr. TWA Total dust.
AEL * (DUPONT) 5 mg/m3 8 & 12 hr. TWA Respirable dust.
Quartz
Permissible exposure limit:
(OSHA) 2.4 millions of particles per cubic foot of air TWA Respirable.
Remarks The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 250/(%SiO2+5), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower percentages of SiO2 will yield higher exposure limits.
Permissible exposure limit:
(OSHA) 0.1 mg/m3 TWA Respirable.
Remarks The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 10/(%SiO2+2), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower percentages of SiO2 will yield higher exposure limits.
Permissible exposure limit:
(OSHA) 0.3 mg/m3 TWA Total dust.
Remarks The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 30/(%SiO2+2), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower values of % SiO2 will
6 / 12
give higher exposure limits.
TLV (ACGIH) 0.025 mg/m3 TWA Respirable fraction.
AEL * (DUPONT) 0.01 mg/m3 12 hr. TWA Respirable dust.
AEL * (DUPONT) 0.02 mg/m3 8 hr. TWA Respirable dust.
* AEL is the Manufacturer's Acceptable Exposure Limit. Where governmentally imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL are in effect, such limits shall take precedence.
